That combination of fibre and protein was my lunch a couple of days ago. It was lunchtime and I was rather ravenous as usual. Since I was at home, I decided to cook my usual fish and veg fare. For those who think that’s boring, I would beg to differ! haha… it really depends how you cook it I guess.

This dory was marinated in dijon mustard, paprika and black pepper. It turned out quite spicy but hey that’s the way I like it! The vegetables were kind of impromptu. I opened the fridge and there was some chinese cabbage, carrots and tomatoes. And whatddya know… I chopped them up in quick time and started to stirfry them in the wok… not before adding garlic of course.

I know it seems a bit weird, to pair up grilled fish with vegetables. Not that western and not that asian either eh? I think it’s a mix of both. I love western cuisine but sometimes I think that there’s just not enough fibre in it. Don’t get me wrong, I love my carbs (think bread, pasta, potatoes), but I do think there should be a balance. Okay I hope i make sense! 🙂

Anyway I’ve been eating out too often, what with my long hours on campus; that’s why I try to take every opportunity I have to cook at home, when I’m actually at home.

Oooo I’m going to help cook some food for a small event next weekend. I can’t wait to get started on it. Will post pictures after… Till then, cheerios!
